My First Weekend of Summer Break

It's been forever since I've blogged. I've been so busy, I actually forgot all about it.

Here's a recap of my first few days of summer break:

Friday I had to work a half day. I spent the afternoon cleaning Micah and Blair's closet and catching up on laundry. The kids went to Clayton & Trevor's to swim and then Rhett had his last baseball game that evening. He stayed all night with Gage and the girls stayed home.

Saturday my mom kept the kids so that Tony and I could go to a home show. We are getting ready to add-on to our house, so we wanted to get some ideas. Tony took the camera and took so many pictures, the battery ran out. Wow! Then I took Micah to a birthday party and then we met up with Tony at Sterling's graduation party. From there, Rhett went home with Brian Anthony and the girls went home with Desiree (&Olivia). Tony mowed the grass and I cleaned the house (it was quite messy after 4 ballgames in one week). Oh, and we watched the new True Grit (unlike a few weeks ago when I accidentally rented the 1960's version by mistake!)

Sunday we took Brian Anthony for the afternoon. After church, we ate at Texas Roadhouse and then played some wiffle ball as a family in the back yard. It was Micah and Me against Brian Anthony & Rhett. Tony was all-time pitcher in the first inning. I switched to all-time pitcher in the second inning because Micah's super-competitiveness wasn't happy that we were losing (and apparently I was to blame). Blair left for a little bit with a friend (Trevor) and then he came to our house for awhile. Rhett had baseball practice (All-Stars) Sunday night and then he spent the night with Justin, while Micah spent the night with Alyssa, and Katie spent the night at our house with Blair.

Monday, Tabby came and picked up the girls for some swim-time at her house. I ran some errands in Clarksville and then picked up Rhett and his friend Justin on my way back. I took the boys up to my mom's so they could fish and swim. Not much luck fishing. I think my dad was the only one who caught one. That evening, the girls had tumbling and Rhett had practice. After practice, Tony played wiffle ball with Rhett & Justin. Then I drove all the kids around on the golf-cart. We ended the night catching lightning bugs. My favorite was watching Blair run through the neighbor's field, tumble dive from a fall, and get back up, all while still clasping her hands together as not to let any lightning bugs escape.

Today Tabby and I took the kids to Atlantis Water Park (Rhett, Justin, Micah, Brian Anthony, Blair, Desiree, and Olivia). When we first got there it was cloudy, cool, and even sprinkled for a little bit, but then the sun came out, it got warmer, and it ended up being a pretty day. We dropped Justin off on our way home and Cindy came to get Brian Anthony soon after we got back. I fixed dinner and took Rhett to practice. The girls are playing in the basement with the neighbor, while I'm doing laundry and catching up on the world of blogging.

Wow! All of this and it's just Tuesday! ;) I LOVE Summer!!!
